Coming up over the next few weeks, we have a special Krush Performance Investigative Report.

A spotlight lit up the dark side of sport in 2017 as we witnessed potentially the biggest college sport scandal in history and the uncovering of alarming details surrounding the Russian State run Doping program. The integrity of sport and fair play are at a tipping point and we went to find out just how close we are to going over the edge.

In 2014, the Director General of the World Anti Doping Agency stated that the biggest threat to sport is organized crime.

Gunter Younger: Director of Intelligence and Investigations for the World Anti-Doping AgencyGunter came to WADA from the Cybercrime Division at the Bavarian Criminal Police Office. The fight to protect and uphold the integrity of sport needed a more systematic approach for tracking criminal elements and the crimes they are responsible for. Advanced methods for gathering evidence is now critical for building bullet proof cases that will stand up in the court of law. Gunter lets us into the dark world of organized crime in sport and fires a warning about the newest weapon being used by criminals – the Dark Web.

Minky Worden sheds light on some of the most atrocious happenings in the world of sport including human trafficking, the sex trade, forced labor. and child rights issues. The human side of sport corruption is often over looked but thanks to the efforts of organizations like the Human Rights Watch over $8 Million dollars in unpaid wages from the construction of the Sochi Olympics finally reached the workers who labored in brutal conditions to meet the unreasonable timelines.

He now travels the world using his life experiences for the benefit of corporate executives, professional and student athletes, at risk youth, church groups and anyone seeking the inspiration to best the odds and make positive changes in their lives.
